Keyword dairy free baked feta pasta, gluten free feta pasta
Fresh basil and oregano, to taste (I used about 1 Tablespoon lightly dried Italian herb mix from Gourmet Garden)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Add 2 cups of washed cherry tomatoes to a 9x13-inch baking pan and add the olive oil, pressed garlic, fresh thyme, smoked salt, and black pepper.
Stir the tomatoes with the oil and herbs. Make a space in the pan for the dairy free feta cheese block and scoop some of the oil and herbs on top of the cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes.
While the tomatoes and feta are cooking, heat a pot of water and cook the gluten free pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta once it's cooked.
When the feta and tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and add the pasta to the pan along with the chopped basil and oregano and stir everything together.
Sprinkle some more chopped basil on top of the pasta and serve.
This is delicious with chicken sausage added for more protein.

Notes
* Daiya feta cheese is preferred in this recipe. Good Planet feta will work (not my favorite flavor), but Violife feta (though delicious) melts too much and just gets runny instead of making a thick sauce.
